Skip the marketplace fees and connect with me personally. Every piece ships with the care and story it deserves.
When you buy directly from me, you're not just getting a painting — you're getting a conversation. I love knowing where my work is going and who it's going home with. Reach out, ask questions, and let's make sure you get exactly the right piece for your space.

A Few Important Notes
Sales Tax
Sales tax varies depending on your location and is not included in the listed price. I'll calculate the correct amount for your state or region and include it in your personalized quote before you pay — no guesswork, no surprises.
International Orders
I'm happy to ship worldwide! International shipping costs and any customs duties or import fees vary significantly by country and package size. I'll work out an accurate shipping quote for you before any payment is made.
Original Paintings Only
Direct purchases are for original paintings only — each one a unique, one-of-a-kind work. Once it's gone, it's gone! Reach out early if something has caught your eye.
Commissions
Interested in a custom piece? I take commissions! Drop me a message with your idea, subject, preferred size, and any reference images, and we'll go from there.
